Your Hosts

We are Ben and James. Below you can see a photo of us back when we were in a band. That was a long time ago, well before Ben turned to German shampoo engineering to try and hold onto his rapidly declining hairline. We've been friends since first school and have always been in each other's hair (which is becoming increasingly harder) since we were young.

We started a band in our late teens and we were beyond clueless about how to go about doing it. We loved music and saw others playing in bands leading us to think hell we could give that a go. We did, and learning as we went, eventually got pretty good at it.

That was then, and this is now...

Years later, and a shared love of podcasts, led us to thinking hell we could give that a go. Again, we're back at the point of being utterly clueless, but we're going to give it a go.

There's a long list of things we wish we had known both before starting our band, as well as when we were in the band. We want to share those experiences, and along with interviewing some other great people, provide a helpful steer to the many talented musical artists out there who deserve to be heard.
